30 reasons why I think it's great to be a dad
To be a father is just a great thing - anyone can confirm that was allowed to experience how his own children at GOODNIGHTKISS an honest "I love you, dad" said. A father tried to write which big and small things make his father so special - and he came up with 30 points. Have fun while reading!

So here's my - certainly incomplete - list:
I think it's great to be a dad because ...
... it is an incredible feeling to be a kind of hero for his children.
... I enjoy it very much when my children seek shelter, protection and comfort from me.
... I'm allowed to be a kid again in the game with my kids - and everyone thinks it's great!
... I find it fascinating how I can give my children great pleasure with small gestures and presents.
... it's amazing how my kids are happy to see me. With a baby one has this joy even several times a day.
... it feels good to have achieved something that literally has "hands and feet".
... it's great to see how excited my parents are of their role as grandparents.
... I find it fascinating to discover a completely new, previously unknown page on my wife.
... I fall in love with my daughter every day anew.
As a father, you experience things that others will never experience
... I now experience first-hand how unique the love for your own child is.
... I experienced the violence of nature live at the birth of my children.
... I'm proud that I seem to be really good at this daddy thing.
... through the Father I have got quite new perspectives and insights into life as a whole.
... I now understand my parents better in many ways - not in others.
... I find it incredibly funny when my daughter is always "the dad" in role-playing games.
... I was touched when she expressed a desire to marry me later.
... it moves me, amuses me and sometimes beats my head when I recognize my own sayings or gestures to my children.
... through my children I realized how important it is to live in the moment.
Many small and some great father pleasures
... I enjoy a lot of little pleasures with my children - eating together, going to the park or to the indoor pool, reading a book, romping around ... until the goodnight kiss.
I'm so proud that I've done my part in having these - my - great kids.
... I enjoy seeing the excitement in the eyes of my children when I teach them something.
... I enjoy festivals like Christmas and Easter for the first time since my own childhood.
... bring back memories of my own childhood through the experiences with my kids.
... I would have felt that without children, I would never have opened an important chapter in life.
A father also gets to know himself better through his children
... give me my kids the impetus to reflect on my own life.
... through my children I get to know myself and my own limits better - a sometimes quite painful process.
... I can not get enough of just looking at my kids.
... I do not know how to sleep in the long run without the good night kiss of my daughter.
... I now have a reason to get up every morning and get to work.
... I am incredibly proud of my children having learned new skills.
... I know that I have passed on something to this world, which will last even when I am no longer.
Did I forgot something? Certainly! You are welcome to supplement the above points with the reasons why you think it's great to be a dad.

Very lovely write up, though not yet a dad. But I will definitely find all these tips useful when need be. Thanks boss.
Upvoted!!!
I am one of this guys to Hosch :) so I can indeed read this :) ty for sharing and wish you great evening ofc...
What a good positive post! Thank you. All your points are great and it proves that you care deeply about being a parent, so important especially today when so many children are neglected. I was lucky I had a wonderful dad and a wonderful stepfather. My daughter's husband is a really great father to my two grandchildren. It only gets better!
Excellent post! May you enjoy many more special moments, days, months, years with your special kids!
